Hard to appreciate unless you were in the late 80's punk scene. Lovedolls Forever is a time capsule, to be sure. It looks like a bunch of friends and a cam border made a half baked movie, only somehow got Jello Biafra to make a cameo. This is because in the 80's, the punk scene wasn't made up of millionaire rock stars like Green Day. This is how bands like Bad Religion and Black Flag were involved with the first one, Desperate Teenage Lovedolls. Anyway, the movie itself is stupid, poorly acted, and poorly written. Everything about this movie is amateurish even to an amateur. But it's fun and has a great soundtrack. The key is fun. It doesn't think too much of itself, doesn't try to say too much, and isn't boring. I recently saw the director's cut, and there was definitely fat to trim. And how the heck did they get away with so many copyright infringements? I guess because nobody important ever saw this movie. Charles Manson's Garbage Dump, KISS's God of Thunder, Give Peace a Chance, A Day in the Life?! Guerilla filmmaking at its finest!
I would recommend this movie to anyone with a sense of humor.
